After several helium balloons exploded at a celebration on Friday honoring the fourth founding anniversary of the Gazipur Metropolitan Police (GMP), two people, including comedian Abu Hena Rony, suffered burn injuries.
Around noon, the program started at the Gazipur District Police Lines field, according to Abu Sayem Noyon, Assistant Commissioner (ACP) of GMP.
According to Noyon, the disaster happened when some balloon vendors attempted to use fire to launch balloons in front of Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan.
The injured have been transported to the Sheikh Hasina Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery for care, he added.
